The eviction notice for Pedro, a 95-year-old resident of Benidorm, was set to be executed on Monday 5 October. The Sindicat de Vivenda de Carolines announced that the eviction has been delayed, giving him a one-month reprieve before it can be carried out.
The background to the case
The property was registered in the name of Pedro's daughter, who died at the age of 49 from advanced-stage cancer, according to the organisation. Following her death, the parents—recipients of a non-contributory pension—were unable to meet the debt demanded by the bank, according to the same source. The family contends, however, that the mortgage loan was not accompanied by life insurance.
The organisation explained that the bank had proposed a deed in lieu of foreclosure at the time whilst those affected sought a way to keep the property, and that the debt was eventually transferred to the investment fund Coral Homes S.L. According to the Sindicat de Vivenda de Carolines itself, Pedro had been paying the mortgage on the house for eleven years.
"Not a victory"
The Sindicat de Vivenda de Carolines warned that the postponement "is not a victory", as Pedro remains at risk of losing his home. The organisation stated that it remains "alert to this case and standing by Pedro".
The union also links recent housing protests to the case of Mari Carmen, which it believes acted as a trigger for such demonstrations.
